In simplest case without additional parameters the video will be 300px in width and placed to the right side of the of the page:

{{EmbedVideo|service|ID}}

All parameters:

{{EmbedVideo|service|ID|width|alignment|title|description}}

Usage example

Simple code:

{{EmbedVideo|youtube|9xJfPx8RViU}}

With all parameters:

{{EmbedVideo|youtube|J---aiyznGQ|500|left|Keyboard cat! - THE ORIGINAL!|This is second example}}

The width value must be just number; the alignment values are "left" and "center" ("right" is default thus can be skipped).

To skip a parameter, leave its position blank, for example default width and no title are alright but different alignment is needed:

{{EmbedVideo|youtube|SaA_cs4WZHM||left||This is third example}}

Results:

{{#ev:youtube|id=9xJfPx8RViU|autoresize=true|}}

{{#ev:youtube|id=J---aiyznGQ|autoresize=true|description=Keyboard cat! - THE ORIGINAL!}}
This is second example

{{#ev:youtube|id=SaA_cs4WZHM|autoresize=true|}}
This is third example

Notes

These are notes provided by Miraheze Developers Wiki (they can be removed after import):

• When importing this template to another wiki, you should enable extension EmbedVideo at Special:ManageWiki/extensions#mw-section-mediahandlers.
• Upon import to another wiki the title can be changed to whatever user prefers, so use that title instead of "EmbedVideo" in its syntax.
• See also:
  • Template:YouTube - another video embed template which supports only YouTube and uses different extension.
  • Template:Flexbox - this template can be used to create a gallery of videos.
